the "Starting a Family" meme


Nature is no respecter of persons, my friends. Whether it be childhood friends, newlyweds, or one-night stands, a single decision or accident can change everything, and there will be three people instead of just two.

Congratulations! The characters in these threads and those who reply to them are now expecting babies, no matter what their unique situation may be. Of course, depending on the characters, this might go over like a lead balloon. But wait! Even if the decision to have a baby was made and was consensual, the process is no walk in the park. There is lots to do...and only nine months to do it. Nine potentially drama-filled months.

HOW TO PLAY
  • Comment with your character, preferences, etc.
  • Not all options here are fluffy and happy. Some are potentially angsty or possibly triggering. Tread lightly. Be sure to mention what you want and what you don't want.
  • Reply to others.
  • For this, male characters can get pregnant because why not.

the i n s o m n i a meme

It happens to everyone - sometimes, you have nights where you just can't fall asleep, no matter what you do. It could be for a number of reasons, or no reason at all. And this is what's happened now: you've been laying in bed for what feels like hours, just tossing and turning, and nothing seems to help. So what's left to do? Get out of bed and go wake someone else up, of course. If you're not getting any sleep, then why should they?


i n s t r u c t i o n s

Post with your character (note the name and fandom in the subject).
Other people reply to you by generating a number from 1 to 10.
• Have fun!


o p t i o n s

01 • FEAR. Maybe you're hearing strange, indeterminable noises; maybe there's a severe storm happening outside; maybe you watched a scary movie before bed? Whatever the reason, you're terrified and it's keeping you awake. You just want to wake someone else up so they can protect you from the monster in your closet.
02 • HUNGER. Your stomach is growling and it just won't stop. Or perhaps your throat is so dry you could cough up a tumbleweed? Well, you've gone to the kitchen to remedy this and hey, that was a pan that just dropped on the floor. It was loud enough to wake the dead! Oops.
03 • PAIN. Your body is completely worn out, be it from exercise, battle, sickness, or what have you. Either way you're in enough pain to keep you from sleeping, so maybe someone else has a home remedy or something, or can at least help you take your mind off of it.
04 • SOLITUDE. For some reason, your bed just feels so empty at the moment. You're feeling terribly lonely and really just want someone to keep you company for a while. Maybe it'd be easier to fall asleep if you're with them...
05 • DISCOMFORT. Your room is an oven. Either that or a freezer. Or maybe this bed is just really uncomfortable? Who knows why you can't get to sleep, it feels like it could be anything. Why even bother trying? Maybe someone else can preoccupy you until you feel tired enough to ignore your discomfort.
06 • PENSIVE. Something's on your mind, and no matter how hard you try to focus elsewhere, it's just not going to work. Your body may be tired, but your mind is incredibly busy and it's virtually impossible to get to sleep. Surely, talking it out with someone else will help?
07 • SADNESS. Something terrible has happened that day, perhaps; or you could just be severely depressed. Either way you're trying your hardest not to cry yourself to sleep, and it's not working at all. Better find a way to get it out of your system somehow; you need a shoulder to cry on.
08 • ANGER. You are just... fuming. Who knows why - that annoying dog is barking again, or maybe the people next door are getting busy and keeping you awake. Whatever the reason for your ire is, you'd better put an end to it so you can get some damn rest already! Go wake up a friend so you can complain to them.
09 • RESTLESS. You're far too energetic to sleep right now. Maybe you're just trying to do so out of necessity - you have to be up early tomorrow! But you just don't think you'll be able to fall asleep for a while now, so why waste the time trying to sleep when you could be doing something else? Namely bothering someone else - you're totally jealous because they're getting more sleep than you.
10 • WILDCARD. Choose one of the options above, or make up your own scenario.

Dateability Ratings


Backed by the wonders of modern science, we've concocted a foolproof, data-backed scale for relationship desirability. Why trek the Wild West of dating when we've already...

...what's that? You want to see our methodology. Of course. Just one second.

It's here. It exists.

...hold on...

HOW TO PLAY
- Comment with your character.
- On a scale from 1 thru 10, with 1 being the lowest and 10 the highest, our lab rats, UHM, excuse me, volunteers will grade your character's "dateability."
- We'd argue that this procedure isn't, in fact, subjective and "a total trainwreck." Please try to stay neutral in the face of real science.

character(s) i'm thirsty for


don't be ashamed. we've all got them, characters we just...man. they're great. love them. chef's kiss. couldn't be more perfect. of course, we don't always have a reasonable excuse to tag them, and that doesn't quench our thirst.

so why wait for a reason? just admit to your character crush! whether they're a castmate, crosscanon who'd be a perfect fit, or a total rando that wouldn't meet your blorbo in a thousand years, there's no more need to vaguepost on rpanons about characters you wish would notice you.

tell us here. this? this is a judgement free zone. be as thirsty as you want on main. and maybe, just maybe, your prince/ss will come.

— city at night meme

You've got the world around you yawning with potential, possibilities fanning out before your very eyes—after all, they say the city doesn't sleep at night. The skyline's illuminated with glittering lights, and even now, the streets are bustling with activity. So here's the real question: where are you at this hour?

The Room You Can't Leave Until You [x]



A strange trope from the corners of Twitter and Pixiv that relies on the fact that sometimes the most in-character way to get what you want from characters... is to force it.

Two characters are stuck in a room- usually a completely featureless room- with a sign that steadfastly declares the door to the room will not open unless they complete a task. The task can range from something harmless and embarrassing to something full out R-18. Some people enjoy playing up the sadistic captivity of whoever would arrange such a thing while others just enjoy the premise as an excuse.
There's a lot of flexibility so be clear about anything you do/don't want to play out!

Level 1: Nothing but Talk.
1. Tell a Secret
2. Reveal Your Dark Past
3. Compliment the Other Person
4. Confess Your Love

Level 2: Let's get Physical.
1. Hug
2. Kiss
3. Princess Carry
4. Wall-pin (kabedon)

Level 3: We're Getting Spicy!
1. Make-out
2. Fondle a chest
3. Admit Your Kinks
4. Read-aloud a Bad Porn Script

Level 4: Flat-out Explicit!
1. Mutual masturbation
2. Give head
3. Try a new Kink
4. Have sex

Obviously these aren't the only options out there. Feel free to make up your own and label for sexual/violent content!

Got a canon-specific one? Put it in your toplevel! Really got something you want to play out? Put it in your toplevel! Only looking for the general levels, nothing remotely sexual? Put it in your toplevel! See someone not playing what you like? Mind your business and make your own toplevel!

3» Death bed: One or both of you are dying, and now is the best time to say what needs to be said.

4» Drunk: Nothing like a few good drinks to get the mouth rolling.

texting meme

You’ve got your TFLN, you’ve got your sexting, now here’s the meme for all those gen texts, phone calls, voicemails, pictures of your cats, and whatever else your little heart can come up with, because who doesn't like a little old fashioned friendly texting. (Or enemy texting, if that's more your bag.)

instructions: What it says on the tin! Leave a comment with your character, include preferences, a start, absolutely nothing or whatever you want. Run around and reply to others. Lather, rinse, repeat.
